Internet swoons as babies born on Taylor Swift's birthday at Pennsylvania hospital get Eras Tour bracelets
READING, PENNSYLVANIA: Reading Hospital in Pennsylvania found an adorable way to commemorate the 11 babies born on December 13 - music superstar and Pennsylvania native Taylor Swift's 34th birthday.
Hospital staff gifted handmade beaded bracelets modeled after the ones handed out during Swift's recent Eras tour to families visiting the newborns in the maternity ward and NICU on Swift's birthday, as reported by PEOPLE Magazine.
Reading Hospital staff created 60 bracelets with phrases like 'Newborn Era'
"In celebration of Berks County native Taylor Swift's birthday, our babies are marking their ✨newborn era✨ today with adorable friendship bracelets from our staff!" the hospital announced via social media along with photos of the bracelets.

The bracelets contained fun phrases like 'Newborn Era,' 'Fierce,' and 'Loved' - nods to Swift's music and persona. In total, around 60 brightly-colored friendship bracelets were handed out on Swift's birthday. Though too large for the newborns to wear just yet, the keepsakes can be saved for them to enjoy when they get older.
Hospital staff wanted to create a special memento to commemorate the occasion of sharing a birthday with one of music's biggest global superstars.
